The bell rang loudly within Dr. Oliver's class, signaling that school was finally letting out. All of a sudden, students quickly gathered possessions and raced towards the door. Kira, a little behind, grabbed the black binder and science book on her desk. "Are you okay?" came the always-amusing comment of Conner McKnight from behind. The girl's teammate was a complete jock, but at least he had slowly learned to care about other people beside himself. "You look a little tired."
She paused to glare at the fire red soccer uniform. "Thanks. That's what I've always wanted to hear!" the exhausted figure shouted sarcastically.
Ethan, seeing a potential lash out, quickly jumped in the conversation to save McKnight. "Conner's not very good with words. What he was trying to say is that you were a little distracted and dazed today. He is concerned that something could be wrong."
Kira yawned and noticed the lack of sleep had seriously begun to affect her. "Look, I'm sorry but I haven't been getting much rest within the past few weeks. I've been having the same dream ever since…" She paused trying to get past Trent's disappearance.
The other two gazed down on the floor, knowing of the girl's attraction to their enemy. Ethan interrupted an uncomfortable silence. "Maybe you should go home and relax. We haven't had any problems within the last few days."
"I will after I rehearse at Haley's place," Kira promised while throwing a yellow book bag over her shoulder. "I have a big gig coming up and she said I could practice there. You can come if you want to."
